About this item
USER
Children with intellectual disabilities or highly impulsive ADHD who unbuckle their own seat belts
WHAT
It is used simply by inserting it between the parts when locking the seat belt. A parent holding the key can release the seat belt freely, but a child without the key cannot. When a parent drives alone to take a child to the hospital, the child cannot unbuckle in the back seat, so the parent can concentrate on driving.
Printing tips
The key hole is sized so that a child's finger cannot fit in it, eliminating the risk of a child's finger getting stuck and the possibility of the child releasing the seat belt lock. The key held by the parent has a hole for a key chain, so it can be carried together with the car key. Having two holes spreads the force when pushing it in, so it can be pressed in with good balance and released with relatively little force.
It was made to fit standard seat belt dimensions, but some foreign cars and others may have different standards and it may not fit.
